Approaching a black hole unleashes extreme tidal forces, stretching and tearing apart matter, including planets like Earth, a ...
An international team of astronomers has investigated a short-lived optical flare designated AT2022zod. As a result, they ...
The Shocking Power of Internal Tides Alongside the extraordinary fluvial discharges and the intense tidal currents, vigorous ...
Some white dwarfs in rapid binary orbits are far hotter and larger than theory predicts. Researchers found that powerful tidal forces between them generate enough heat to inflate their sizes and ...
New research shows that Jupiter's moons may be keeping each other warm thanks to the effects of gravity. The tidal forces each moon applies to the others are keeping them warmer than they would ...
Some researchers believe a singularity can be removed from a black hole (have no event horizon) and this would be a wormhole. They modelled observers (objects like a chair, a scientist, and a ...
ORLANDO, Fla. – Strolling along the beach, you find seashells and seaweed left behind by the receding tides at your feet. When you gaze up at the moon, you’re looking at the primary cause for the ebb ...
The shape of the moon deviates from a simple sphere in ways that scientists have struggled to explain. A new study by researchers at UC Santa Cruz shows that most of the moon’s overall shape can be ...
Physicists have used interferometry to detect the minute tidal forces acting on individual atoms exposed to a local gravitational field. This allowed them to measure the curvature of space–time on a ...
